The well Known Murray House fed
very large number of people on circus
day, and sustained its well deserved rep
utation for keeping good square table
The festival at Palmyra School House,
on last Saturday was most enjoya BILE
affair. The fine music furnished by the
Ednburg Cornet Band was greatly APP
preciated by ali present. The net proceeds
amounted to only So. This caused some
dissatisfaction among the committee.
Mr. Jos. F. Holtzman, our live hotel
man, will soon push to completion his
new addition to his hotel, the Eureka
House. 1t will be a very handsome build
ing with an octsgon front, wide double
porcbes, and all the modern improve
ments, and will give nine additional
rooms.
Remember, will not be undersold.-
Come and hear my prices and see my
goods. c. p. Wightman.
A well-known lady of this place, who
is constant knitter when not otherwise
employed, was about to 90 from home a
short time since to spend the day. She
sent her daughter-in-law up stairs for her
specks She went on her visit and after
settling down comfor taby she got ont
her specks, as she thought, but found only
the empty case. There was but little
knitting done that day, aud the good lady
is disconsolate over the loss of time.
Now is the time to buy salt. Go to c.

Mrs. Ann Allison. an old and much re-
spected lady of this place, died on Tues-
day morning last at o'clock, at the resi-
dcnce Of her son.ln-law, w. II. Baker, in
the 72nd year of her age. She has been
i'll for a number of weeks and her death
was not unexpected. Her son. DIR. NJ. N.
Allison, of Hagerstown, Md, was called
to her bedside but arrived only in time to
attend his mothers funeral.
The large cooperation meeting of the
Disciples church held in this place a short
time ago, had the effect Of making our
people clean up, fix up, paint up and re-
pair things generally. In fact, few
meetings Of this kind will make a new
place out of Edinburg. We cannot re-
frain from making special mention of the
handsome homo Of an old citizen on water
street. He has at last, under the pressure
OF the cooperation meeting, finished his
house, inside an out, and has now a most
attractive homSp
On Monday miSning last very serious
accident occurred on the pike just outside
the north end of inyn. Mr.. Lewis Keller
was coming up the rroad with two horses
hitched to the fore part of a wagon, to
which his large clover huller was coupled.
Just as he reached this place, one of the
most dangerous on the whole line of the
Valley pike, the horses, pushed by the
heavy machine down the hill, started to
run and either dashed or were pushed of
the high wall into the lot Of J. b. Shelter.
One of the horses, falling into deep ditc h
had bis neck bro Ken, the other escaped
with no hurt to ,peak Of Mr.. Lewis
Keller, who was in ,harge of the Machine,
had his foot painfully bruised by one of
the wheels running over it as he attempt
cd TO stop the horsCs This place is one
of the most dangerous points on the Val
ley pike, and has been the scene of a num-
Der of bad ACCIDENT. Why the turnpike
company doc not erect strong guard
wall or fence al this point is mystery, as
they are certainly able for damages that
occur at this place through their neglect
to provide suitable safe guards.

VIM. Main & CS.'s circus drove into
ouI town Wednesday morning between
and o'clock, they travelling by wagons,
and at once went to work pitching their
canvas on lot opposite the Edinburg
Agricultural Works, just north of the
depot. The canvasmen, although few
in number, made rapid work, and soon
the white walls, that seemed to screen 20
many mysterious things to the Young
boys Imagination. were in position. The
people rom the surrounding country APP
peared 20 drift into town rather slowly
considering that this is the only circus
or shov Of any kind under canvas
that has been in our town Tor many years.
But wien the time came for opening the
ticket wagon it was found that the cOun-
try adjlcent to the town had poured out a
very LIBERAL crowd, and soon the show had
all tina it could accommodate. While
we don't pretend to set up as a judge
of circu, performances, we cannot refrain
from saying that this Is one Of the best
little shSws that has ever passed through
the Valley.
My stick of dress goods, bingham and
calico, Must be closed out TO make room
for tall hoods. Come in at once if you
want bargain. c. 7. Wightman.
